New horror ‘Womb’ explores fetal fears!

by Phil Wheat

Uncork’d Entertainment is set to release Womb, a gripping female-directed horror-thriller inspired by true events, on Digital and On Demand starting February 11th.

Womb delves into every woman’s worst nightmare: the terror of fetal abduction. The film not only offers a chilling portrayal of this rarely explored subject but also provides a deep understanding of the twisted motivations and dark justifications of the perpetrators involved.

Beautiful, pregnant and a recovering addict, 22-year-old Hailey heads to a remote cabin to meet her soon to be sister-in-law. What starts out as a beautiful, quiet weekend turns into pure terror when she becomes the prey of a deranged hunter obsessed with abducting her full-term fetus.

Directed by Bridget Smith (The Retaliators, Sno-Babies) and written and produced by Mike Walsh of Philly Born Films, Womb features a powerful lead performance by Taylor Hanks (The Giant) alongside Myles Clohessy (FBI: Most Wanted) and Ellen Adair (Law and Order). Says filmmaker Bridget Smith:

The first documented case of fetal abduction happened in my hometown of Philadelphia in 1974. The terror of it has been in my mind ever since I heard that story. When Mike Walsh shared the script with me, I knew it would make a disturbing movie. Although you rarely hear about it on the news, fetal abduction has happened continually over the years with alarming regularity.
